It's All About Believing in Yourself

Image
Have you ever seen someone who didn't buy a car because he failed to learn how to drive? Or have you ever met someone who tried to learn how to drive then decided not to try again after failing for few times? Personally, I have never met anyone like that. Almost everyone who starts learning how to drive ends up being able to drive well. Although not everyone becomes a driving expert still everyone who tries learns the basics of this complex skill. The question is why you succeeded in learning how to drive yet failed in achieving some of your other goals ? The answer is simple: because you were sure that you were going to be able to drive long before you sat in the driver's seat. You saw everyone around you succeeding in doing it and so were convinced that there's nothing particularly hard about it, even though it really is a complicated skill. Believe in Yourself and People Will Be Forced to Believe in You Billions of people fail to live the life they have ...

I Will Not Die an unlived life

Image
I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. The poem is a candle that my soul holds out to me, requesting I find a way to remember what it is to live a life with passion, on purpose. There is only enough light to take the journey step by step, but that is all any of us really needs. When you have the courage to shape your life from the essence of who you are, you ignite, becoming truly alive. This requires letting go of everything that is inauthentic. But how can you even know your truth unless you slow down, in your own quiet company? When the inner walls to your soul are gratified with advertisemen...

Peace of mind: a life by design enhancer

Image
There was once a Buddha walking from one town to another town with some of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and the Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there.” The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!” So he came back and told Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink.” After about half an hour, again the Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down ...

Life is full of challenges and obstacles. It is human nature, many times we know we should not give up but we find it hard to stay positive and optimistic. Words of encouragement can help to relieve stress and boost our morale. Below are my favorite encouragement quotes, I hope these help to make you feel a lot more confident in your ability to achieve your dreams. Don’t give up, design your life and forge ahead because Thomas Edison tried over 2000 materials before he found one that he could make the light bulb. At one point, there was a fire accident and his lab was destroyed completely. He started rebuilding the lab the next day and kept going. Thomas Edison lived a life by design Don’t give up, live your live by design because Abraham Lincoln who is always in our hearts as one of the greatest presidents but we rarely know that he faced many failures and defeat throughout his life: born into poverty, twice failed in business, lost eight elections and suffered a nerv...

LIVING BY SIGHT WITHOUT VISION?

Are you living by sight or vision? That is a question which you must answer before you can ever reach your full potential. As you will learn, living by sight without vision will stall the glorious plans God has your life. Your faith will be stirred and your determination tempered as you are guided on how to zero in on your God-given vision. You were born to win and this is your welcome into the winner's circle! We walk by faith and not by sight! If you are operating by sight, you see the problems and challenges all around you. You see how many bills you have to pay, you wonder how your school fees will be paid, handout issue disturbs you, you are confused on how to meet your spouse’s need, you see that your company is downsizing; all you see are things that threaten your security. Sight without vision is dangerous because it has no hope. Many people have been living by sight alone, and that's one reason they have...
